The East Side Gallery is a living monument to the power of art and the human spirit. Still, it is also subject to the ravages of time and weather. That's why the East Side Gallery e.V., an artists' initiative, was founded in 1996 to restore and preserve the works. In 2009, the entire gallery was restored by 87 artists, and 100 paintings was repainted.

This is why I really hate cyclists in Berlin. They go over red lights without even looking if there is a car coming or if there are people trying to cross the street. They cycle on the wrong side of the road, sometimes riding their bike straight into you. Some of them cycle next to you, trying to push you to go faster but not allowing you to go on your own rhythm. There are others that just block the entire bike lane while they talk to another person on a bike next to them. Why? If you want to talk to your friend, stop and talk. Don’t block the bike lane because you felt like sharing that gossip you heard somewhere.

Early on a Friday morning, I took my drone to Tempelhof with the explicit goal of capturing how gorgeous the park looks like covered in snow from above. And the pictures and videos I shot there prove that I was right to leave the comfort of my house and head to the park.

Neukölln has been home to Berliner Berg for years now; their history started in a basement in Schillerkiez back in 2015. When it was time to grow, they didn't want to leave the neighbourhood, and we completely understand that we have been calling Neukölln home since we moved to Berlin.

We hope you know but, if you don't, Birra is the Italian word for beer, and this is the core of the bar in Prenzlauer Berg. They offer almost twenty different types of beer from the tap. During our visit, nearly half of them were from Birrificio Lambrate. This is great for us since we have been to Birrificio Lambrate before, on a trip to Milan back in 2015, and we loved every minute of it.
